Building a real-world cross-platform app with Xamarin and MVVM
summary
Demo builds the MyTrains app with Xamarin Classic and MvvmCross IOC container, sharing a PCL core of models, repositories and services and thin Android/iOS shells. Architecture uses data binding with INotifyPropertyChanged, MVX commands for actions, ShowViewModel navigation, plugins (web browser), and unit tests that mock services. Sample uses hard-coded sample data for offline demos; Android fragment view bindings work in the live demo and full code is on GitHub/Pluralsight.
